Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Anyone remember this? Dumb Ways to Die ad campaign
One of the best PSA campaigns to ever exist, imho.
Definitely
Can't believe they used a European Robin instead of a bird native to the US. I demand better bird representation in our public safety announcements
I'm glad they used a bird that bothers you, that way you'd more readily understand that birds aren't real.
Completely unlistenable
Here is the direct Web site if you're interested in checking out the announcement, plus downloading the album:

You know what... I'm fine with this. If not a little proud.
Any one with a guess on how they arrived at this title?
None whatsoever.
No idea but it’s brilliant. I’m proud of a government agency for once
Honestly, the agencies always go hard AF. Our National Park Services has a fire ass social media and does some wild things. USPS sells some fire ass drip even.
Why would they be selling flaming diarrhea?
It is meme lingo I somehow haven’t heard about yet? I kinda like it. It’s also confusing though
Did they get Steve Buscemi to help them out?
are they targeting young adults of five year old?
This is amazing! I’m sharing it with everyone I know
